Fwd: [icann-meswg] ICANN Beijing

[Amr Elsadr]

Hi all,

Not sure how news-worthy this might be to most on this list, but there is a Middle East Strategy Working Group (MESWG) that has been working on an ICANN Middle East strategy for the past few months. The WG published a draft outline for a suggested plan for ICANN to engage stakeholders in the ME over the next few years, and this document is now available for public comment. The MESWG is also holding a meeting to discuss the plan with anyone who is interested in Beijing. Details below.

Thanks.

Amr

> I thought we could follow a similar format to the on one we had in Dubai, so I liaised with Sarmad, Fahd, and Manal and asked them if they would be available to present on behalf of the WG, and they accepted. We will be working on the slides shortly, and will share them with you beforehand. I also invited the two top executives of ICANN's Global Stakeholder Engagement to join the panel (Sally Costerton and Tarek Kamel).

> I'm also arranging for a face-to-face meeting for group members who will be in Beijing. Main purpose of the meeting is to discuss any feedback received thus far as well as next steps. Suggested time for this meeting is Thursday 11th 13:00-14:00 Beijing local time. I'm working on making a bridge available for those who are not in Beijing and would like to join us. If anyone needs a dial-out please let me know.
